International career opportunities: Global Sales & Marketing at the FH

GSM stood for work hard - play hard - we spent nights learning together, motivating each other and then celebrating each other's successes together. One for all, all for one.

I found the combination that makes up GSM unique: Marketing and Sales on the one hand and Technology and Intercultural Training on the other. The wide range of topics at GSM was a perfect match for my general curiosity for new things.

GSM offered me a very intercultural study experience which helps me to accomplish international work duties. The program had a very practical approach with good use cases and many opportunities to learn how to present and be in front of a big crowd, where I see many people struggling with.

GSM has provided me with the perfect basis for a job where you need to understand every aspect of a company, in combination with teaching me to communicate the individual benefits to project stakeholders. Additionally, it is very enriching to study and work alongside exchange students as well as having the opportunity to study abroad.

Marketing has always fascinated me with its various aspects. There is always something new to learn, therefore, I decided to study GSM. The bachelor studies provided a wide array of topics and input, hence, the master studies followed. My 5 years at GSM / FH Steyr enabled me to develop a great network and get my job as Marketing Manager at corner4 Information Technology GmbH.

Due to GSM I had the chance to study two semesters abroad - one in Spain, during my bachelor, and one in Uruguay, during the Master program. A fantastic experience, which I wouldn’t want to miss, since I got to know other cultures and it certainly helped me to broaden my own horizons.

During my GSM studies I got the chance to get to know many different companies in Upper Austria. That allowed me to build up a great network, which helped me with my later job search.

The study program of GSM is widely known in the Upper Austrian Industry and has a fantastic reputation. I have made the experience that graduates from this study program are always wanted and will easily encounter great job opportunities afterwards.
